chasswen,

I must admit I really don't know much about Germany except through my internet searching and this site, I have not personally gone there or had my studies reviewed there.
I do know that health care in Thailand is very good, I come here often, and enjoy the people and country, and that it is relatively inexpensive. There was a clip on 60 minutes featuring 2 patients who come to Asia , aone a lady who went to India, and another was a guy who had triple coronary bypass surgery at a private hospital called Bumrungrad Hospital which is the only hospital in Asia that is JCAH approved.
I probably would have searched more to include Germany but I found this Orthopedic surgeon who is adept at doing ADR and that patients really praised him and the fact that he was so responsive to my needs.
I think he is every bit as experienced as other good surgeons doing ADR. And skilled and responsive. I ended my search after I met with him.
